the internAtionAl educAtion AssociAtion oF AustrAliA
There are a lot of reasons why Australian education
is world class. When it comes to educating
students from around the world, one reason is the
professionalism of Australia’s international educators.
The International Education Association of Australia
(IEAA) is a non-profit association that strives to
advance Australia’s global reputation and position
as a provider of high quality education services.
The association has over 1100 members from
all education sectors – universities, vocational
education and training institutes, schools and
English language colleges.
The association enhances the quality and standing
of Australian international education by:
• serving the professional needs and interests of
members, with a view to improving the quality of
professional knowledge, skills and discourse
• disseminating good practice
• encouraging high quality, informed and ethical
professional practice among members
• promoting international education with
governments, education organisations and within
the Australian community.
Professional development and networking
IEAA jointly presents the annual Australian
International Education Conference, the third largest
international education conference in the world.
The association offers networking and professional
development opportunities through an extensive
professional development program. It runs over forty
professional development workshops, symposia,
conferences and special events each year to support
the professional development of staff in Australian
education institutions. This assists them
in better serving and supporting international
students, in study and in their engagement with
Australian society and the Australian community.
IEAA has a number of special interest groups
providing members with networking opportunities
and the chance to exchange ideas and share
knowledge. The special interest groups include:

curriculum; marketing and communications; and
